Trapper Jack and the ogopogo

Yeah, just a second, let me grab Jackson's Booster seat from the car." MacKenzie said.

"Ahhhh!!! Sissy, do I really have to sit in the booster?'" Jackson whined. "Madison doesn't have to sit in a booster and she's only 9 inches taller than me?"

"Ok, first of all stop whining, second of all, Madison is 16 years old. State law says children under the age of 8 must be restrained UNLESS they are four foot nine inches or taller, are you older than 8?”

"No",

"Are you taller than four foot nine inches?"

"No"

"Then yes, you must sit in the booster."

"Fine!" he said and crossed his arms in disgust.

When MacKenzie went out the door to go grab his booster Jackson irritated at being denied, said to Maddie, just to start something, "When I'm your age I'm going to be twice your size."

With Maddie any comment about her height always seemed to get her hackles up and she decided to serve it right back to him "Oh really how are you going to fit through doors then you goon?"

"Duck" he retorted.

"Hey you two, am I going to have to get your sister? We are not even on the road yet, sheesh!" said Cole intervening as MacKenzie came back carrying the booster.
Yeah," she added "if you keep it up, you two just may drive me crazy."

"Oh we haven't yet? Oh well, practice makes perfect." Jackson sarcastically replied.

Kenzie placed his booster on the seat "Sit down, Mr. " she said firmly.

"Ok, sorry Kenzie, Maddie" Jackson contritely replied sitting down in his seat and buckling up.
"Nina, plot a course for Summerland."
"I've multiple routes to Summerland Cole, would you prefer the most direct, or perhaps the most scenic, time difference of 20 minutes."
"Scenic please."
"Course plotted, please back out and head toward main street, and then take a right on main street" Nina, then began to give directions to Cole as they were needed.
Meanwhile Jackson reached down and pulled his I-Pad out of his backpack, and started to look up Nina Simone's bio on Wikipedia. "Nina?" Jackson started "it says here you were close personal friends with Martin Luther King Jr., what was he like?"
"Oh Jackson, he was the greatest man I ever knew, if he hadn't been assassinated I know, he would have been the first black president, and probably the greatest president, we'd ever had. Turn left here," Nina instructed Cole, and so the adventure began with Nina regaling the enthralled children with her experiences during the Civil Rights movement, including the inspiration of her more influential civil rights songs such as Backlash Blues, interspersed with the occasional directions that Cole needed to drive. When they pulled into the" Boat Float" boat shop, in Summerland, the intrepid adventurers were nice and relaxed from Nina's bewitching "I put a spell on you", as indeed she had.
Cole pulled into the parking lot found a spot, and parked. “Ok boys and girls, this should just take a minute. Kenz while I'm paying for the boat, you think you could get the Jeep off the hitch ball?”

“Sure thing,” she said before climbing out of the RV, and heading to the back. In a few minutes Kenzie had gotten the Jeep off the RV, and Cole came out of the Boat Shop with a set of keys to the speed boat and handed them to Kenzie.
“Alright,” he said as he climbed back in to the RV. “Who wants to ride w/ithNina and I and who wants to follow us in the Jeep, pulling the boat?”
“Dibs on the Jeep!!!” Maddie said excitedly, hopping out of the RV, and climbing into the Jeep. She was looking forward to a little sister time with Kenzie. Kenzie pulled the Jeep around and backed it up to a sleek looking speed boat. Maddie got out, and the two of them wrestled to get the boat on the hitch ball. While Jackson and Cole looked on from the comfort of the RV chortling at their struggles.
When the girls had completed their task and the boat was all hooked up and the brake lights
tested. Cole said “Nina, can you please open up a comm line to the Jeep?”
“I anticipated your' request and have already opened up a comm line to the Jeep.”
“Yeah, nice guys just laughing at us, instead of getting out to help, rude.” Maddie chastised them.
“Well, we could have helped, but then you wouldn't have learned anything?” Jack reasoned.
“Oh, really, and just what is it that we are supposed to have learned exactly?” Kenzie asked.
“To ask for help of course.” He retorted grinning.
